This they accomplished in the dead of
the night, about forty miles from New
York, i'll dense fog and damp, dismal
weather generally; and never, perhaps,
has there been a more weird and
took place when the commit
tees steamer got alongside the i'm
mense Cunarder Umbria. There is
rOusing cheer, which is answered from
the big steamer. But when a cheer
was given for ''William O'Brien and
Bishop Ireland" they were not all
cheers that responded. Some were
cheers, and some of the cheers were for
Lord Lansdowne. Then out in that
heaving sea, in the midst of the fog and
damp sleets, English and Irish antago-
mist found abundant ventures. ''God
Save the Queen" and "God Save Ire
land' hacked and hewed each other, and
JEER AND GIBE
and taunt passed across the intervening
tide.
Take that llne," was roughly spoken
from the smaller vessel.
what do you mean by coming along
side and treating us like dogs?' yelled
Capt. McMackin.
Then they inferred that he would not
let anybody on board without the health
officers permit. He was informed that
the doctor was Oh board and also the
cuStOm-hOuSe officer. Then he was told
that Mr.. O'Brien was wanted from the
Umbria as also Bishop Ireland and
another passenger.
Take him. said voice, referring to
Mr.. O'Brien. ''We'll have clear weather
now that Jonah is going.''
Mr.. O'Brien came to the gangway and
said:
care there any friends of mine on
board who wish me to go to New York
tonight"
Yes" was the ringing answer.
''Then l shall go,' said Mr.. O'Brien,
''in compliment to the towards OH board
this Ship.'
THE BISHOP REMAINS ON BOARD.
The process of transfer was tedious
and difficult. Bishop Ireland elected to
remain on board, but Mr.. O'Brien came
down a ladder. The Irish prtriot was
warmly welcomed, and there was a re-
newal of the taunts, cheers and counter
cheers as the vessels grew faint to each
other in the fog. The stern line;of the
little vessel was supposed to have been
cut by somebody on board the Umbria,
but a deck hand of the Moore said
that the rope was broken on board of
that boat by the up and down strain.
Mr.. O'Brien'S passage had not been an
unmiXed pleasure. He had been SUBJ
jected to various annoyanceS by his
fellow passengers. Bishop Ireland on
one occasion rebuked them, saying that
he could call up sixty passengers from
the steerage who could drown them out.
This one of the passengers affected to
regard as threat. After some prelim-
mary addresses Mr.. O'Brien was pre-
sented with an address. 1t was read by
James a. Graham.
MIR. O'BRIEN
said that he thanked them again and
again for their unexpected and hoSpit-
able welcome. He regretted most
heartily the severity of the weather by
which their hospitality had been tested.
Then he spoke of the Irish spirit which
it was impossible to come in contact
with without feeling that Ireland's cause
was immortal and unconquerable.
While he would not then make anything
of a speech, he would say that he was
engaged upon what w9S to some extent,
perhaps, a dangerous mission. Lord
LanSdOwne had been chosen by the land
lords as the pioneer and champion of
that body in the work of determination.
They had not been able to stem the tor
rent of eviction, but they had been able
to protect the tenants who had had the
pluck to adopt the plan of campaign
and to stand by it. Five hundred poor
tenants had been evicted in three
months of this year in Ireland, but not
one who had adopted the plan of cam
paign, because the tenants were fed and
maintained out of the
LANDLORDS RENTS
as long as penny remained. The con-
sequence was that they had made evic-
tions expensive. Lord Lansdowne had
made the Luggacurran case test case,
and he had come here to make it a test
case, too, and to meet him on the steps
of his own throne. If Lord Lansdowne
thought he could carry on these evic-
tions, he (Mr. O'Brien), thought there
were 1000, 200 of Irish Canadians who
would want to know the reason
why. He asked the Canadians to be
the judges. He then referred to
the trying time in Irelaud at pres
ent, but he thought they had leader in
art Parnell. Never before were the
people of Ireland so hopeful, and never
before were its enemies ip such dismay.
[ApplauSe.l Hugh McCaffrey extended
an invitation to Mr.. O'Brien to visit
Philadelphia, and he promised him
rOuSing reception. The gentlemen pres
ent were then introduced to Mr.O'Brien
and pleasant cOurtesies were exchanged
as the boat made its way to the city. On
his arrival he was driven to the Hoff-
man house.
Mr. O'Brien left for Montreal at $50
tonight. To an Associated Press re-
porter, in speaking of his proposed trip,
he said that it would be confined to a
few of the principal cities of Canada.
HE SAID:
81 shall speak in Montreal, Quebec,
Ottawa, Kingston, Toronto, and Hamil-
ton. | propose to arouse the public
opinion of the people to the acts of their
governor-general, Lord Lansdowne, up
to the same level as it is in Ireland; and
as it would be were he landlord
i'll Canada and pursued the same
course as he has with his tenants
in the old country" Mr.. O'Brien said
that his stay would be governed by the
wishes of his friends there. He intended
to speak of the state of affairs on Lord
Lansdowne's Irish estate in very plain
terms. He would point out that the
governor general of Canada had in a
most violent and wantOn manner pursued
a course of action contrary to that which
had been laid down as acceptable to the
Canadian government. Canada had
helped Ireland with money. Mr..
O'Brien would show her people how to
help Ireland in a more effective way.
He proposed to give Canada the best
opportunity she ever had to strike blow
which would effect Eholesale clearances.
